When the cage doors opened, the demon wasted no time in pouncing. It was fast, faster than they anticiapted. Suguro and Koneko closed their eyes chanting from the section where its fatal verse was located. Rin's eyes found Izumo who released her demons towards the giant Demitsu. His gaze found Shima, who was shaking where he stood, not much help in his state.
The group watched as Izumo's demons distracted the Demitsu, giving Bon and Koneko the perfect opportunity to focus on the passages. Rin's gaze found the Demons crimson eyes, that seemed to catch his. The Demitsu's smile widened, showing a sharp grin, its poisonous saliva dripping onto the ground below. It advanced toward Rin, Izumo's demons no longer a concern.
I've found you. It growled, its head menacingly lowering.
Rin felt a sharp ping in his head causing him to grown and drop to his knee. Izumo noticed. "Rin?!" She shouted. Suguro didn't stop but he looked over to see what the comotion was all about.
The son of Satan. The Demitsu got close enough to the group when it got down into a pouncing positon, it's tails going up. Your father wants you, but he didnt say he wants you whole. I wonder how a half demon half humans flesh tastes. The Demitsu chuckled, but to humans, it sounded like a low growl. The Demon charged Rin, disregarding the team of Ex-wires that stood in front of him. Rin caught that he would have to charge his companions in order to get to him, so he leapt away from them ignoring the pain from his head.
"You want me, bastard?! Come and get me!" Rin shouted. That's exactly what it did. Rin ran to the left into the empty field, trying to get as much distance from his friends as possible. Rin knew he could easily defeat this creature with his flames, but the guilt in his stomach prevented him from doing it. He didn't want to look over to see the scared or angry looks on their faces. So did the one thing he could think of. Use his own body to train the Demitsu's attention to his. . He may not be on speaking terms with his companions but he didn't want to see them get hurt. Blame his human side for that big heart of his.
Yes, run, Little Prince. The creature said. You can't be the real son of satan with such a weak heart. Rin looked back to see the creature swipe, to Rins surprise, it caught his arm. Instantly his arm exploded into burning pain, Rin grunted, but didnt break his stride one bit.
He made a B-line, causing the Demon to crash into the barrier, burning its arm. Rins gaze spotted Suguro and Koneko, still trying to find its vital passage. Rin caught that they were watching him, almost as if anticipating if he was going to use his flames or not. Rin's stomach churned.
The Demon slowed its advances before coming to a complete stop. Its eyes going from his companions to Rins. I see what makes your heart so weak. The Demon snarled. Pesky human flies. Interfering Fathers plans! The Demon changed its course, now sprinting full charge towards Suguro.
Suguro continued to chant, but the fear on his face was eminent. Rin used his demonic speed, his body bursting into flames without drawing his sword. There was a flash of Blue before a strong wind broke out, knocking both Suguro and Koneko over. That's when Koneko started another Verse and they heard the Demon growl. They had found it.
When the dust of the collision cleared They had seen just what exactly had happened. Rin had claws dug into his abdomen, pinning him to the ground. His sword still not drawn, thrown a few feet away. Rin was holding onto the Demitsu's jaw, holding it back from his face as the final versus were being said.
Rin could feel his organs trying to repair themselves already but the claws were in deep, preventing them. His insides felt like they were made of molten lava, the claws giving the same sensation as his arm. He felt something warm and thick coming up from his throat. Was it vomit? But When he coughed it up, the smell of iron hit his nose hard. Not Vomit. Blood.
Just as the last verse was said, the creature and it's claws vanished into a cloud of smoke and ash. Once it was Rim immediately turned on his side, struggling to breathe as the blood was clogging his airways. He pressed hard on the area, creating black spots in his vision. Rin could hear muffled voices. It was as if he was underwater, drowning. He tried to strain his ears, to focus on the words, but it wasnt cooperating. Instead his vision finally went black, the pain now a small ebb as he succumbed and welcomed the darkness.
The group watched as Rin was playing tag with the Demon, keeping its attention. Thats when it went wrong. No one really knew what happened after it changed its direction. They just saw a blue blur before dust, wind and dirt kicked up. They all held their breath, all except Koneko who was still chanting the verse. When the smoke cleared they all looked on in horror. Rin had the demons claws in his stomach, all three of them digging into his abdomen. Any normal person would have been dead by now, but Rin was not an ordinary person. He was the son of Satan.
When the Demitsu disappeared as soon as Koneko finished the verse. They watched as Rin rolled over to his side coughing and wheezing
"Rin!" Shiemi shouted. She was the first one to make a move.
When Shiemi dropped to her knees next to Rin that jolted everyone else out of their gawking. They ran over to him, stopping just a few feet away from them, not wanting to interfere with the work.
Suguro saw Rin fall still, his breathing hitching. He dropped to his knees and gripped Rins bicep turning him over. Just the arm made him recoil. He could feel muscle but it felt so... skinny and sticky. Rin had been scratched there as well. Shiemi immediately went to work with Nee, ordering for things she needed. When she lifted his shirt everyone couldnt peel their eyes away. His skin was torn and shredded, they watched as the skin was slowly, putting itself back together. Suguro noticed though that Rin's ribs were noticable, worringly noticible.
Yukio entered the field, running with the paramedics close behind him. "Move away!" Shouted Yukio. Shiemi had stifled the bleeding a little but she was way over her head. Everyone backed away and watched on as Rin was given an oxygen mask and lifted onto the gurney.
"What happened?" Yukio asked in a stern voice.
It was a minute before anyone could speak. "It was going so smoothly...until it went after me. Rin jumped in front of it... by using his body as a shield." Shima explained, watching as they placed ab pads on his stomach.
Yukio glared. "You are excused. Go home. I will debrief you all when Rin is out of surgery." He demanded before turning and hopping into the back of the ambulance.
Rin was immediately taken back into surgery in the ICU. Yukio stood there, a worried furrowed line appearing on his forehead.
"Teach?" Yukio heard. He turned to see the ex-wires and Shura standind in the waiting room.
"What are you doing here? I thought I told you to leave."
"I brought them here, four eyes. They need to be debriefed now. Mephistos orders." She explained.
Yukio sighed, taking a seat in one of the cushioned chairs.
It was a long minute before anyone spoke. "What was your plan?" Yukio finally asked.
"The plan was simple. Takara and Shiemi were to be on the sidelines for injuries. Koneko and I were to chant versus. Shima and Izumo were to guard us." He finished.
"And what was Rins job?" He asked.
Suguro flinched. "I told him to do whatever he wanted." He finished ashamed of his actions. He kept out the part where he told Rin not to hurt them, afraid of what Yukio would do.
Yukio listed his glasses, shooting them a deadly glare. "You were to include everyone. Why did you give Rin nothing?!" He asked, his voice leaking with venom.
Suguro didn't answer.
Everyone sat in silence afraid of saying anything else. Shura decided to speak up. "Did Rin use his flames?" She asked.
Everyone looked at eachother before shaking their heads. "I don't think so… Come to think of it, he was trying very hard to avoid using them." Izumo said.
"That's weird, Rin would've used it in a heartbeat... what was he thinking?" Shura asked, it fell on deaf ears as everyone saw the Doctor come in.
"What's the condition? Is my brother okay?" Rin asked.
The doctor looked somber. "Well he is okay for now... his surgery didnt take long since his healing abilities did most of the work" He paused for moment before continuing. "But the damage was severe. He lost a lot of blood. If it weren't for his ability he certainly would have died." The doctor said. Yukio let out a deep breath. But by the look on the doctors face he felt his stomach drop.
"What is it?" Suguro asked.
"The organs the Claws penetrated are healing just fine." He said. "But there is one thing that's not healing and we can't understand why."
Suguro stepped forward. "Spit it out." He growled.
"His spinal cord was nicked and we believe it may be causing total paralysis to his bottom half. We don't know for sure or if it will heal until he awakens." Everyone fell silent as those words. The doctor cleared his throat. "Another thing that concerned me is that he is malnourished. His body function is all over the place. His body was exhausted and it looks like he barely had food in his system. Which means he was skipping meals and not getting anymore than 4hrs or less of sleep a day. It's quite troubling to say the least ." The doctor said. "But you may go in and see him before we have to put him on strict visitation." The doctor bowed before leaving. The room became tense, everyone muling over the words the doctor had spoken.
